Who do you think is the F1?

[framikmin]

Hi all, I've been a long time viewer and a first time poster. As I read these posts I find myself wondering "who is the F1? At first I thought for sure it was Chantal. The chemistry between them, they enjoy similar experiences, the penetrating eye contact and their kisses. How could it not be her but then I couldn't understand why everyone couldn't see it. I realized I wanted her to be the F1 as we all relate to one of them. So I thought more about Emily and tried to be open minded. She's beautiful, sensitive, graceful and classy. Who wouldn't want her as F1. I just didn't see it on screen but here's where MF comes in and of course he's masterful edits. Brad does say all the right things about EM. I want to spend every second with her, she's the most beautiful woman, kissing her is different. It's all there - no emotion, no drama, beauty, sweetness all of it - like a package deal. But something is missing??? I think what's missing is emotion, feelings and love. I think he does have strong feelings for EM but I think he loves Chantal. Here's what I keep going back to.

1. If Anguila is where love unfolds supposedly with EM, why would he ask Chantal if her feelings changed? At the end of that with Brad's voice over you can hear Chantal ask "is that weird" Brad replies, "no, it's not weird"

2. If he's in love with EM, he's had 2 opportunities where Chantal asked him to send her home and he DIDN'T. Why would he not do that if he didn't love her. Remember Andy/Tessa she did the same thing and he didn't send her home either. If Brad is such a good guy this would have been his exit

3. I don't think EM has even reached the point of love with Brad yet but she's trying and she may have started in Anguila but there's little time left

I think what happened in Anguila is that Brad fell in love not with "EM" but with Chantal. Michelle is right when she said on Ellen, his feelings/his kiss changed there she of course said it was Emily. Brad hurt Chantal that deeply and I think he was trying to do what he can to not do that by cancelling the cocktail party and limiting the pain. Of course he couldn't say any of that.

Anyway I hope that Brad is genuine, sincere and honest if not for himself but for either Chantal or Emily.

Here are a couple more screencaps and what Brad says to Ashley on their FD:

"I don't want to scare you, but I am trying to plan a future"

It looks like it's going to be a tense evening. I wonder why he struggled at the RC.
@ Nikikass..that comment was too funny..I hope she didn't get that idea after the show.She was rather the exception than the rule .

i do not think emily is ready at all. She would want to make sure that brad would be an excellent father first and then go for it

chantal is very ready. she wants a family right now. she is 28 and at the age that mother hormones ready

I'll give you that... a lot of women want to have kids before they are 30 or 30 something.. (although in this day in age 40 is fine too)

However, will Chantal be ready to share??.. She needs her time with the man.. How long will that take??

Won't both of them want to have at least a little bit of time just being a couple (Brad/Em or Brad/Chantal). I mean, I know Brad's 38 but I think he could spare a year or so, at least?

Well depending on Brad's biological clock she has at least 9 months with him.

I understand the frustration of the edits seing chantal very emotional and all.

however, I think she is very sincere and does not fake her feelings and that is why is is so hurt and insecure.

Once brad will tell her he loves her, that will be all. She will be the girl that will be then confident again.

I would hate competition and I do not blame her to be emotive. On top of that the lack of sleep, hours differences etc... not top shape condition to be fully ourselves

anyway... how long you said? As soon as they move in together and be far far farrrrrrrrrrr aways from hollywood and medias!!!!
